M.A.T.H. Centers
Students in Mrs. Cook's mathematics class will participate in M.A.T.H. centers to encourage deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. The acronym M.A.T.H. stands for:
-Meet with Teacher
-At Your Seat
-Technology
-Hands On
In addition, students will participate in Math Tasks and Models to further develop conceptual understanding rather than simply procedural understanding. For more information on Math Tasks and Models, please visit: https://hcpss.instructure.com/courses/106/pages/three-act-tasks

math fact ninjas!
Fact fluency is an important foundation for advanced math concepts. When facts are memorized, students have an easier time with new material because they do not have to try to figure out an addition or subtraction fact before moving on to a new component of a math problem.
All three math classes are going to be focusing on mastering our basic addition and subtraction facts (0-10). Students will take one timed mastery quiz (0+, then 1+, then 2+, etc.) each week. Every student who masters a level will get to write his/her name on that level’s poster in our classroom and move up to the next level. Each class has a different plan for helping students to practice in class.
Students will be recognized in class for reaching Level 10 in addition and again in subtraction. AND …. at the end of the year, students who have become FACT MASTER NINJAS will get to participate in a very special celebration!
We encourage at-home practice! We have a digital file of flash cards available that we would be happy to email so you can print out cards to practice at home.

Homework
Unless class work is unfinished, no traditional homework packet will be sent home. Instead, each week students will receive an UN-Homework Assignment Choice Sheet.
Students are to choose one activity per night to complete. Parents will then initial the activity as it is completed. Homework is due the last day of the week, even if it is a short week.
